Adjusting the Score of a Single-Attempt Test
If students were allowed only one attempt on a test, you can use these procedures to adjust their scores.
If students were allowed only one attempt on a test, you can add points to their scores using this procedure. If desired, you can also give a negative bonus to reduce a student’s score.
If you are working with an assignment that allowed multiple attempts, you will probably want to refer to Adjusting the Final Score When Multiple Attempts were Allowed. However, if you need to adjust a score of just one attempt that the student completed, you can do that using this procedure.
Note
If you want to add an adjustment for the whole class—either a bonus or a reduction—see Enter a Class-Wide Adjustment.
Open the student’s test for review, as described in Reviewing Online Tests.
At the right of the screen, just above where the completed test is shown, you will see a link that says either Add a bonus or Edit bonus. Click whichever link is shown.
The system displays the Bonus points pop-up. If you previously adjusted the student’s score, this pop-up will show the adjustment you made.
Do any of the following:
To give the student a bonus, enter the number of points to be added.
If you want to reduce the student’s score, enter a minus sign followed by the appropriate number.
If you want to remove an adjustment that you previously made, clear the text field.
Click Save.
If a student didn’t take a test, the system will automatically give the student a zero. However, you can adjust this.
Open the student’s test for review, as described in Reviewing Online Tests.
Click the link that says Change this grade.
The system displays the grading icons.
To enter a score, click one of the scoring icons.
